Pink Pong Rosé 2022,
Jean-Marc Dreyer
Pink Pong by Jean-Marc Dreyer is an Alsatian rosé wine with organic maceration (AB label), biodynamic, and natural, without added sulfites, made from a blend of three grape varieties in equal parts: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Auxerrois. Until now, it only contained Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris, but this year, Pinot Noir was predominant, and Pinot Gris was added to restore the balance and drinkability of this rosé.
Vinification
The vinification of Pink Pong is modeled on this winemaker's Origin cuvées. In this blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and Auxerrois grown biodynamically, the former gives it a bright red color. The grapes are macerated for around ten days in whole bunches. The wine is aged in foudres and demi-muids for eleven months. Biodynamic method, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar.
Tasting
Sweet notes of cherry, a slight astringency of cranberry, rhubarb, wild strawberry, a herbaceous note, and a hint of white pepper. Jean-Marc Dreyer doesn't always blend grape varieties, but when he does, we take off our hats: through a fine and dense framework, beautiful notes of red fruits and spices emerge. A wine for a special occasion, a thirst-quenching wine too, Pink Pong has it all: dryness, acidity, freshness, structure... As for food and wine pairings, you are spoiled for choice, this wine with its strong character goes well with anything that is eaten: red meats, grilled meats, cured beef (cecina) and pata negra ham, Gascon black pork ham too, charcuterie... Serve it very cold.

Jean-Marc Dreyer, biodynamic and natural Alsace winemaker (AB organic certification label), succeeds several generations of his family at the Dreyer & Fils estate, created in 1830 between Obernai and Molsheim. Upon taking over the estate, he immediately opted for biodynamics. In 2009, upon returning from a pilgrimage to Compostela, he decided never to add sulfur to any wine again. Having made this decision, he asserted his style around skin maceration, accentuated, chiseled, bringing out the soul of Alsatian grape varieties. Jean-Marc also works with direct pressing and often with single varietals. He also produces Pinot Noir reds of surprising depth.
Maceration and Direct Press
Jean-Marc Dreyer's wines are characterized by whole-bunch maceration (but you should also taste his direct-press whites). "Maceration in Alsace," he says, "is an ancestral tradition! In the past, we worked by hand and let the grapes macerate before sending the marc to the press." Gentle oxidation is also a particular characteristic of his wines, generally vinified without topping up. Jean-Marc is best known for his "Origin" series, a finely macerated expression of Alsace grape varieties, but we invite you to discover his other wines.
Auxerrois Origin Blanc 2021
Jean-Marc Dreyer
Auxerrois, also known as Pinot Blanc, is a typically Alsatian grape variety that forms the basis of this Auxerrois Origin from Jean-Marc Dreyer. Floral, fresh, and seductive, it is both atypical and indulgent, well-defined by the maceration process, which gives it a distinguished texture. Its alcohol content is quite generous (14% alcohol). Whole-bunch maceration gives this dense and dry wine, with its delicious salinity, amber tones, floral notes, and sensations of perfect purity. Acorn-fed Ibérico ham would melt with joy alongside it. Jean-Marc Dreyer's Origin range is dedicated to single-varietal wines made using skin-contact maceration based on the six white grape varieties of Alsace: Sylvaner, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, and Muscat. This wine is produced using the biodynamic method, fermented using indigenous yeasts, and is unfiltered and unclarified.

"Maceration in Alsace is an ancestral tradition!" says Jean-Marc Dreyer, adding that direct pressing in this region is a modern invention, linked to the advent of electricity. In the past, people worked by hand and let the grapes macerate before sending the marc to the press." Whole-bunch maceration is Jean-Marc Dreyer's signature and represents 85% of the estate's production, with the remainder consisting of direct-pressed whites, aged without coal. Jean-Marc succeeds several generations of his family at the Dreyer & Fils estate, established in 1830 between Obernai and Molsheim. Upon taking over the estate, he immediately opted for biodynamics, but he hesitated for a while between several methods: at the beginning, his wines were more oaky, aged in new barrels with stirring. Then, a sweet period: all his wines contained residual sugar. In 2008, he tried vinifying without any sulfur and found his direction: the following winter, upon returning from the pilgrimage to Compostela, he decided to no longer add sulfites to his wines. Having made this decision, he asserted his style around skin maceration, quite extensive, chiseled, always surprising on Alsatian grape varieties, whose structure it brings out without sacrificing delicacy. Jean-Marc works in single-varietal or blended vintages and also produces Pinot Noir reds of surprising depth.
Riesling Origin Blanc 2021
Jean-Marc Dreyer
Green fruits, balanced acidity, elegance, complexity: plenty of structure and depth; Jean-Marc Dreyer's Riesling Origin is what we call a wine for meditation. Jean-Marc Dreyer's Origin range is dedicated to single-varietal cuvées based on Alsatian varieties. Here, whole-bunch maceration exposes Riesling in a completely new light: ignoring the petrol notes (which are present, but politely wait until the finish to reveal themselves), the wine expresses a structured verticality balanced by a gentle roundness. Very mineral, but this time it's the soil you feel, not the diesel can. This wine was aged for eleven months in the Alsatian style, that is, in foudres and demi-muids. Taste pairings? Don't look, it goes with everything. Biodynamic method, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, unfiltered, unclarified, no sulfites added in the vineyard or cellar.

White Riesling 2020
Domaine Einhart
Riesling, the lord of Eastern grape varieties, finds here an expression worthy of its nobility. The color is a beautiful orange-yellow. The initial nose is very refined, slightly musky, with notes of grapefruit and dandelion. The second nose is fresher and mineral, with aromas of thyme, aromatic herbs, and flint. The palate begins with liveliness and beautiful verticality; the minerality is typical of limestone. Dried herbs return before a persistent finish with a remarkable salinity. Light skin maceration is successful in Riesling, and this one is no exception. The twenty-five-year-old vines grow on the muschelkalk (oolitic limestone) terroirs of Westerberg, Molsheimgass, and Fleckstein. The grapes are harvested by hand and then destemmed. Maceration, using indigenous yeasts, takes between four and eight days. Aging on fine lees is ten months in tuns, followed by bottling without filtration. From the vine to the cellar, this wine was made without any additives. Decanting is recommended so that it can spread its wings and express its mineral notes.

Located in the northern part of the Alsatian vineyard, horizontally above Strasbourg, the Einhart estate is a ten-hectare family estate whose vines are located on the hillsides that rise between the Alsace plain and the Vosges mountains. The soil is clay-limestone and rich in fossils (muschelkalk, i.e. shell limestone and oolite limestone, and lettenkohle or dolomitic limestone). Since 1990, Nicolas Einhart has been at the helm, now assisted by his son Théo. True to his commitments to the TIFLO association, of which he is co-founder, Nicolas devotes his winemaking work to the protection of the land and biodiversity, winemaking without inputs, the refusal of harmful phytosanitary products and the maintenance of ecological refuge zones. His estate has been certified organic since 2011. Like Jean-Marc Dreyer, he is resolutely moving towards skin maceration and produces white maceration wines (orange wines) in addition to a Pinot Noir red. Entirely manual harvesting, destemming of the bunches, light punching down and delicate pressing are characteristic of the estate, as well as the separate vinification of each terroir, aging on lees and the absence of filtration before bottling. The wines are pure grape, lively, powerful, invigorating, and transcribe the minerality of the very beautiful terroirs of the Vosges foothills.
Alsace Blanc 2024
Domaine Einhart
Domaine Einhart, a long-time organic farming advocate, presents a white wine that captures all the freshness and lusciousness of great Alsace whites, without ever sacrificing their finesse. This 2024 vintage, just bottled, is the result of a classic regional blend: predominantly Auxerrois, with Muscat, Pinot Gris, and Riesling. An Alsatian quartet vinified by direct pressing, without embellishments or over-extraction, and aged for 7 months in large oak casks on fine lees to preserve the wine's aromatic purity and tension.
The clay-limestone soil, typical of the Alsace plain, gives this wine both roundness and verticality. No oenological inputs, exclusively native yeasts, and a vinification that respects natural balances: a lively, expressive, and absolutely digestible white.
Floral vivacity and ripe fruit lusciousness
From the moment it's served, the pale, brilliant color hints at the wine's freshness. The nose is very aromatic, dominated by yellow lemon, delicate floral notes (linden, jasmine), and a touch of very ripe exotic fruit (lychee, fresh mango).
